It’s with heavy heart that we are launching this initiative in commemoration of our dear friend Arman Soldin. As an AFP (French Press Agency) journalist, Arman was on the front line since the beginning of the conflict in the Ukraine. His aim was to share daily images and videos of not only Ukrainian soldiers, but also those of Ukrainian people impacted by the war. We are at a loss for words to describe the dedication and fearlessness with which he embarked on this journey. You can see more videos of his achievements on his Instagram page (@soldinarman) Last Tuesday, we learnt the tragic news that our beloved friend Arman died in a Grad rocket strike near Chassiv Iar, a town near Bakhmout that is targeted daily by Russian forces. There aren’t any words to describe how wonderful Arman was: an eternal smile, full of empathy, full of joy, brave, with a unmatchable heart. You can find a beautiful tribute to him by searching « Arman Soldin hommage Quotidien ». In view of this devastating news, we wish to honor one of his last wishes: a comic book recounting his work in the Ukraine. Any additional funds will be given to an association in the Ukraine. All the funds will be gathered on a go fund me fundraiser once it has been approved by the website.We thank you in advance. Best,
